The Local Area Committee Manager, Huda Ahmed,
gave a presentation on empowering communities. The presentation
covered:
- What the Local Area Committee would
do in terms of engaging, empowering and enabling residents and
community organisation on topics of local interest. It would use a
range of communication methods both physically and digitally. The
committee would engage with the areas residents to empower them to
become part of the solution with emerging issues.
- That Each Local Area Committee has
been allocated £100,000 to spend in line with their community
plans along with doubling Ward pots and access to the Fly-tipping
and Graffiti budget.
- The Local Area Team would use
different communication methods to update members of the public and
actively listen to feedback and results from the surveys to help
their understanding of what the priorities were in the local
area.
- For anyone who wanted to get
